Tales of High School Band Geeks in Europe - American Music Abroad Tour 1999
This trip was my first trip abroad to Europe. During the summer before my senior year of high school, I traveled with a high school band made up of students from NY, PA, NJ, VA (I think), NC, and SC. July 3rd to July 5th was spent at Millersville University rehearsing our music. Following the rehearsal, we flew on Sabena Air (Belgian) and arrived in Brussels, Belgium. We toured Belgium, The Netherlands (Holland), Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France. Keep in mind that most of the first entries in this blog was created in a journal during the trip. I am still a high school student here and not as wonderful and mature as I am now!
